boys and potty training

anyone else having a hard time getting their little boy to go to the potty? he tells us after he goes that he went both pee and poop, i just cant get him to go to the potty. he will sometimes, and go in the potty and we make it a big deal. just wish this was easier!and if hes naked then he goes better, but i cant take a naked little boy everywhere.

He talks about it after the fact, but won't tell us beforehand. I have to take him and put him on the potty. He doesn't really like to be put there, but I find many ways to distract him (books mostly) and then a praise him so much when he goes! I also remind him frequently, but he doesn't act on that, so I act for him by putting him there. I've heard boys are harder to train! lol good luck!

I have given up on potty training for the time being. hes an april 30th baby, so maybe its just not his time yet. maybe later this summer, beginning of the fall. I guess at some point all little ones decide they dont like having a wet or stinky diaper on, and then they get the hang of it. only thing i have an issue with is that we use cloth diapers, and hes such a heavy wetter at night that he leaks every night....time to find a good night time cloth diaper!!! GL to you and if yours gets it, let me know what you did! :)

Kelly loves to wear his big boy undies too. He sits on the potty if im in there going, and will tell us potty and then we go to it and he sits reads a book and doesnt go. then about 5-10mins later he pees in his undies or the floor. id like to have him potty trained by jan. we plan on ttc #2 in july and would love to have him out of diapers before #2 gets here. cloth diapers for 2 would be a heavy laundry load....but i guess i will let him lead the way!

Sean tells us every now and then he has to potty. Â Most often it is after his bath and then he'll pee in it. Â He pooped in the potty just once. Â He'll tell me all the time he needs a clean "Cars" (aka pull-ups), but that's it. Â I just don't think he's ready to potty train just yet. Â We have the potty in the living room so he can potty whenever he feels like he wants to and we make a big deal out of it when he does, but he's not quite to the point yet where we're actively training. Â I'm hoping that now he's moved into the next class at day care that he'll be inspired by the "older" (by a few months) boys and want to be like them.
